As much as I love Kuroda, I wouldn't be all that sad if he signs with the Dodgers. Between Soriano, Swisher and Kuroda, those could be three sandwich-round picks, in addition to a regular first-rounder. That's a great chance to add some high-level talent to the organization. And I think that Nolasco could replace Kuroda for one year, and wouldn't cost us much of anything prospect-wise.

High level talent that will get us more Michael Pineda's of the world.....

kuroda was our best pitcher last year without him we don't make the playoffs.

Personally neither excite me but if the price is low enough I guess. I'd rather some of these young minor league arms get a chance to prove themselves in the rotation and not be stuck to mop up bullpen duty or give it to an average at best veteran.

Who, barring a freak injury, would be a very productive player right now. Also, we didn't draft him. I'm pretty sure Seattle got him as an IFA.

If we're going cheap in 2013 and 2014, I doubt we'll win the World Series. Might as well get as many draft picks as we can, and go all-out for prospects for the time being, then go crazy after we get under the luxury tax threshold. More money AND more prospects = big time trades, free agent signings and maybe a few home-grown studs as well.

As you said I would also like to see trades now that would net us some top tier prospects if we go cheap 2013 2014 then make an 09 splash and spend away.

Atleast a couple of the kids should have an impact plus all the FA signings and or big trades.
